Police are trying to trace the owner of a bounty of stolen goods.

The goods were recovered from a male passenger after he was apprehended at Blackburn station for fraudulently travelling by train.

British Transport Police said the man was detained by rail staff for refusing to pay or provide his name and address.

He was found in possession of a number of stolen items including cans of Lynx aftershave and several boxes of Lindt chocolate.

A statement from the British Transport Police said: "The offender was also wanted by us for a bike theft at Preston Railway Station a few weeks ago.

"Addresses have been searched for the bike and the offender will shortly be interviewed."

Anyone with any information as to who the goods belong to should contact Ribble Valley Police or Blackburn Police.
